@@liberalsocialist9723 Lolol bro, you must be delusional. the fact that you liken conservatism to natzism just shows how deluded you are but I don't expect much else from someone that has socialist in their user name. #FreeCuba And there is no denying that all the lefty ideology that the major companies are steeped in is running the western comic industry into the ground.
@@KnightMcflee lol your a CLOWN. just look at the state of the comic book industry in the west... its in ruins... and the leftist ideology is solely to blame.
I miss old school marvel. I'm a 90's baby and loved Iron Man (before RDJ), Spider-man and X-Men and in my later years Hulk due to his anger issues. I could relate so well to these super heroes it was insane and thats what made Marvel so special to a lot of fans. it wasn't about the quips they made or the super powers but the relatability. Silver Surfer was just so darn cool as well.
Now I was on season 3 ( got the complete series) but taking a wee break to watch Robin Hood ( BBC Series from 2006 to 2009) with a younger Harry Lloyd as Will Scarlet. 😍
@Lujack Shaw No, I know. In fact your talking to a long time Fantastic Four fan ever since I was a kid and I've read some of their best stories and comic's like the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby Run, The John Byrne Run, Mark Waid's Run, and especially Jonathan Hickman's excellent Run. They were the first superhero team I learned as a kid and though other's like the Justice League, Avengers and the X-Men are great and probably better, but the F4 will always have a special place in my heart. So I don't appreciate your doubtful tone, I was actually referring to the scale of their popularity from general audiences based on media and film interpretations and not the comics which are undoubtedly better and betterr constructed. To be quite frank, there is no need to be cynical or negative.
@@rondiggity1677 I didn't mean to be rude myself, I just don't appreciate unjustified cynicism or diminishment amongst me or others. I appreciate the comment and I'm glad you liked my defence as well.
“It was about Avengers #9 which introduced Wonderman which I don’t know if any of you are old enough to remember this” Me who has been reading every old original marvel comic from the 40s-60s: “actually that was like yesterday for me”
@@666obsesion ??? Do you just walk around real life telling random people talking about whatever to shut up?? RU-vid is so weird like people say the stupidest stuff lol
@@KahlevN I don't blame him for the length of time between his past book and his next one. GoT took off and became a cultural giant is only a few years, then absolutely bombed in S7+8. He's under pressure from multiple companies, fans, and other groups and I don't blame him for taking his time or feeling anxious about it.
Well, whatever the case, the GoT train left the station long ago. Except for maybe a few die-hard fans of the books, there just isn’t a whole lot of excitement about it anymore. For better or worse, the majority of people simply don’t care how he ends the story - the show ended it for them, and it sucked. The fact is, no one ever talked about the books around the water cooler on Monday morning, but the show; and now the interest and good will of the audience is gone. Frankly, if I was a man his age, I wouldn’t want to spend what time I had left writing the end either. That said, I do sympathize with the man. Whatever his intention in selling the rights to HBO, he got the raw end of the deal - and he got seriously paid.
I’ve never heard him talk before, and I cannot shake the fact that he sounds exactly the way I always imagined Colonel Sanders from KFC would sound in real life, weird comparison I know, but it was like instantaneous
"I try never to bring anyone back, and if I do they're really screwed up." At least this part lets me know that Winds of Winter would be different from HBO's GoT.
Well, George RR Martin was clever enough to give Jon Snow the power to enter Ghosts mind the second he dies, so he will be somewhat protected, I guess.
@@brentonacorn422 maybe he'll come back a straight up Lycan. or maybe he comes back completely changed to the point he has nothing "Stark" left in him.
"I try never to bring anyone back, or if I do they're really screwed up"... can anyone inform me of the condition of Catelyn Stark in the books at this point?
Extremely messed up in the head would be a good description about Catelyn in the moment. She is nothing but a hollow husk of the woman she was, now filled only with revenge and murderous desires towards anyone she believes to have wronged her family, being willing to execute even Brienne for not having found Sansa and Arya. She also distorted the whole brotherhood without banners, turning the group into murderers, no long the altruistic helpers of the common folk.
@@henriquecesardesouzasilva8766 Thank you, that's legitimately helpful and interesting and for the love of God why did they opt to leave that stuff out? Between the stuff they ignored and the stuff that was set up that they never used, they SHOULD have have several more seasons of material and it's honestly a miracle the end of the show wasn't an even bigger travesty.
I think the description of her is that she can barely speak, her hair is brittle and broken and her skin has turned the colour curdled milk. She is a long way from Catelyn Stark, which is why she is called Lady Stoneheart.
Huh? Elaborate please. He may have had unfinished side projects, but thats not the same as Martins situation. Martin has a project fans have been waiting for for the better part of a decade he kept promising to finish but never does. When folks call him out on it, he just gives em the finger and calls em trolls! Stan Lee is beloved, Martin not so much.
Hes so humble and even though he said the classics should be his biggest influence, its fantastic that he shows respect to other mediums, especially ones that speaks to children. I love his perspective.
Funny enough, there's House Dayne of Starfall in "A Song of Ice & Fire". They're one of the oldest families in Westeros, stretching back thousands of years, with an ancestral sword made from the heart of a meteorite. In Marvel, there's Dane Whitman (aka- The Black Knight). A hero who inherited the title dating all the way back to King Arthur, with a sword made from meteorite. Maybe George took a little inspiration there as well.
@Gungey Entertainment An upcoming game by FromSoftware (the people who made Dark Souls) George is involved somewhat in the world building... if I am remembering correctly.
That was the most entertaining short conversation on Marvel and DC I've ever seen, he really pulls them together. Awesome to hear George RR Martin talk like that, I would say he is one of Stan Lee's peers.
I always loved both Marvel and DC for different reasons. People forget Jack The King Kirby went to work for DC. That's were we got The New Gods and other awesomeness and deep down even Marvel fans know Thanos doesn't stand snowballs chance in hell against Darkseid
@Abhikrishna PS i dont think so thanos has done way more powerful things than darkseid in the comics and he also has a pretty damn good back story,though darkseid has a more stronger and majestic aura.
@Abhikrishna PS Thanos in his uru armor and comic powers would easily give darkseid a run for his money.Though not point arguing childish dc and marvel fanboys.
It did take almost 150 issues after #9 for him to come back. It wasn't like Superman coming back almost immediately after he died. And I thought Jim Shooter (when he took over several months later) was clever to make Wonderman physically and mentally affected by his time in a death-coma.
This is a great interview and I'm a big fan of both Marvel and DC, but I think the problems he was pointing out are present in both of those universes, not just in DC. That's one of the reasons I now prefer manga over American comics. Things actually change and actions have consequences. The world itself evolves and grows.
Hella old but Yup. Just like marvel refusing to give Peter Parker a happy ending with marrying Mary Jane and having a family. Which could have been a 616 Mayday story but no. They threw it all away for OMD with Peter saving Aunt May but sacrifice his marriage with MJ and unborn child. Making a deal with the devil goes against eveything Peter Parker is about. So yes I agree things need to change and grow
I would love to have a granduncle like George RR Martin that I see once a year, that would talk nothing but about old school comic books over the weekend, and shares them with me.
respecting someone is not a duty but something to be earned, Stan Lee was not the person he claimed to he if you really pop culture you would know it's history beyond the PR
@@Eric_The_Cleric yeah but there isn't much substance with those. At least with GoT there is realism. Not to take away from Invincible or The Boys. I love them both. But imagine if Iron Man plotted to overthrow the government or Batman murdered Superman? GRRM would make a hella of a story...sadly it would never finish though lol
I’ve been reading old marvel comics from the 40s onward I’m currently in the mid 60s and I had no idea George rr Martin had letters published in them I never read the letters from fans so I’ve been missing his little cameos from before he was famous lol
"I try to never bring anyone back, and if I do, they're really screwed." I'm looking forward to seeing how Jon Snows storyline differs in the books compared to the tv show. I'm gonna go with the Ghost warg theory.
Since I grew up reading the old 60s Marvel comics (Specifically Spider-Man) I feel like I relate to George RR Martians experience more than I do to the average MCU fan.
GRRM: I get praised for creating a “dark” fantasy because I killed the guy you thought was the main hero for like 10% of the story! Cormac McCarthy (who literally lives like down the street from him): I wrote a semi-historical novel so violent no one has been able to figure out how to film it for longer than you’ve had a career. And the villain makes Captain Ahab look like Mary Poppins. Where’d all these Oscars come from in the meantime??
It’s interesting that he critiqued DC comics for always ending up exactly where they began, considering that’s almost exactly what the writers of Game of Thrones decided to do in Season 8 by basically nullifying 7 other seasons of character development for characters like Jaime Lannister and Arya Stark.
@Mr Glass Martin believed the show could go on to have 13 seasons. And it gets even worse when you realize that HBO offered the show runners more episodes all the way up to season 10. What a waste!
@Mr Glass nah it was HBO that wanted at least 10, George wanted 13 at minimum Haha. D&D fucked up so bad their career is basically over. Fuck up one of TVs best shows ever and get rejected by Disney after they offered you a job, no ones gonna want you.
Please just finish Song Of Ice And Fire already. At least give us Winds Of Winter!!!! I thought the wait between Feast For Crows and Dance Of Dragons was long but daaaamn it's almost been ten years.
This is incredibly ironic to me considering that eventually every superhero story becomes a “circular story”, Spider-Man is now stuck in the loop of his story and nothing involving Spider-Man can go past his early to late 30s with MJ. Spider-Man will never have a family of his own or a completely stable relationship or job because watching peter struggle in the formative years of his life are what we’ve made Spider-Man all about, it’s the exact same reason why Superman always succeeded it’s because that’s what we wanted to see.
@@wserthmar8908 yeah, seen that earlier (a edited clip of the elden ring talk)...figured since the extended trailer release, there'd be more talks about it, instead of basically "yeah, I helped Miyazaki with the script"... Lol like "uhhhh ok??? We got that part already!!"
@@Jason_Van_Stone That's pretty much what he contributed to the game. I'm sure if he said anything more it might probably spoil some stuff about the lore.
Man, talking about COMICS and not movies...I missed this. Beautiful. Comic cons are just ads for movies now, artist alleys keep getting smaller just to adjust to the general audience who couldn't deign to read comics before but, oooh now it's cool so you're allowed to be into them. But here we have a day one in Martin and it's refreshing to hear him talk about people like Wonder Man and not in this 'Wonder Man is an obscure blah blah blah' way that people commenting on 'upcoming' (in the films) characters do. We need more people talking about how amazing comics were, are and can be, especially in this age of movies that lack the nuance and characterization that the comics have.
